69 – Dongmin Lee (4)
Dongmin Lee (4)
“Because after the Ban Lee Jae incident, he had already broken the promise to reunite. Admit it?”
“……”
Haerin Kang got up and walked around.
“Two things are definitely promises.”
“Two?”
“One is that I will definitely keep my distance from Lee Da-mi. I don’t think the man I love is so weak that he can’t keep his distance from his older sister, who considers her brother a man. If that’s not the case, then it means you’ve got a different mind. That I don’t think of my older sister as my older sister.”
“Absolutely not. My sister is just my sister.”
I said.
“… and?”
“The two of you, never approach the other villains in 『Journal』. I understand the responsibility, but his actions will lead us all into misfortune. If I come forward, Idami will win in the end.”
I didn’t like it, but it was as he said.
One mistake on my part can ruin everything.
At the very least, I’d rather put in efforts such as blocking illegal sharing sites where 『Journal』 is circulated, and focus on revealing the reason for its materialization.
“If you stick to that, fine. However, when moving outside, be sure to accompany me or move only under the judgment that safety has been secured.”
Haerin Kang said.
“Each of these is two strikes, three strikes. You know best what this means, right?”
“……”
I gulped.
Of course everyone knows.
Kang Hae-rin’s three strikes were the standard for her to condemn criminals right before execution.
No matter how you think about it, I wasn’t a criminal, but it must mean the ‘good’ that allows my actions.
“As for my sister, I will continue to investigate in my own way. And friendships are allowed to some extent. See, I’m not torturing myself.”
Kang Hae-rin and I made a dramatic compromise.
Kang Hae-rin, who was lightly flicking a red wine-colored laptop on a low table with her fingertips, held it up and sat down on her lap before speaking.
“…does this count as well?”
Her lips touched mine.

Jjook.
It was a little dry, not like Kang Hae-rin, but it was pleasant enough like the sunlight on a lazy afternoon.
After the lips fall off.
Her expression when she looked at me was quite provocative.
After looking at the notebook, I said.
“… no, it’s not like that.”

The next morning, Harin was away.
Knowing now that her purpose was to track down her sister, monitor the detectives, and Park Sang-woo’s movements, they had nothing to hide from each other.
It might have been better to be like this.
If you borrow Haerin’s transcendent power, it will be easier to solve the problem.
“I will go through the discharge procedures as soon as possible. It’s okay to say goodbye to your friends. The doctor said it was okay to leave the hospital soon.”
she said before leaving.
Meanwhile, I heard good news from PD Banyuri.
[I got the text sharer, writer-! I have already sued, and I think I can get the settlement money. I will tell you more about this soon.]
The result of a few days after the decision to resume serialization.
You are doing a pretty hard job.
She explained that the amount received from the distributor of the text will be shared with the copyright holder in a certain proportion.
Suddenly, quite a bit of money came into my pocket, but that in itself wasn’t particularly happy.
In this way, I just hoped that if I continued to track down illegal sharing sites and catch the person who shared the text, I might be able to prevent the materialization of 『Journal』.
Of course, realistically, I wondered if there was a way to stop all the texts in the world…
There was a visit in the afternoon.
“Jiyoung and Yoona are here-”
Those who entered the position noisily were members of the possessors and juniors who had the ‘sin’ of reading my novel on an illegal sharing site.

Jiyoung Hwang, Yoona Kim.
As if trying to hide her feelings of guilt and embarrassment, Kim Yoon-a loudly performed aegyo from the entrance.
“……”
“… Senior, I am truly sorry. Seriously, if you tell me to f*ck you, I’ll f*ck you. sorry!”
“… it’s okay. You can’t use it in the future.”
At my words, they showed their colors.
“Sure, senpai, of course! I will never go to an illegal site like that. Also, senior novels didn’t come up anymore. Is it because the genuine product has gone up?”
“… Did you go in again recently?”
“Ah, ah, no, that’s not it, I-I was going to tell my seniors about the novel.”
“sorry!!”
I smiled and received the address of an illegal sharing site from them, and sent it to Ban PD.
“… let me know if you find anything else. report it.”
“yes-!”
“Are you going to keep watching?”
“Ah, no, ah, senpai, you’re teasing me…”
“I’m not kidding.”
“I’m sorry, senpai, I was absolutely wrong.”
“… Senior Dongmin, I joined that platform.”
At that time, Kim Hye-jeong, who had been quiet, intervened.
“……..”
In fact, there were a total of 3 visitors today.
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-ah had a clear purpose of apology, but Kim Hye-jung’s visit was somewhat unexpected.
I’ve come here once before, but I didn’t think we were close enough to visit each other again.
Of course, the three of them seemed quite friendly.
Today, Kim Hye-jung was wearing bright clothes that were colorless with the season that had already passed late fall.
It felt like going on a blind date, not a hospital visit.
She was wearing a short padded jacket on the outside, but as soon as she took it off, her round neckline showed a little bit of her chest.
He was wearing a beret on his head, and he was wearing large earrings in his ears, as well as a necklace and a watch.
Pretty long boots underneath.
The viewer was wearing a short skirt that clung to her thighs to the point where it was cold, and she was wearing white stockings, but it seemed pretty irrational.
Even for someone who doesn’t know much about fashion, it was two-much.
Is there anyone who wants to look good?
Or did you really go on a blind date?
I thought it would be rude to look too closely, so I immediately looked away, but when I turned around, I realized that Kim Hye-jung was already looking at me with bright eyes.
It was unintentional, but I was taken aback by the fact that I was looking all over the girl’s body.
But she didn’t seem to be offended at all.
Although the cheeks were slightly reddened.
… should I apologize later?
“…a platform, a novel?”
“Yes, I’ve read up to episode 800 of 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』. I paid a week ago.”
“…wow.”
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-ah admired.
“Did you drive it regularly in a week?”
I was surprised, of course.
Even if there are 800 pieces, each of them is 7, 8,000 words long, so it must be longer than the average web novel.
It is usually difficult to see in a week.
“… Thank you. really.”
“It’s really fun. Dongmin sunbaenim is a god, and Haerin is proof that a god exists, isn’t it?”
Hyejeong Kim giving a thumbs up.
“……”
The excessive flattery made it a little awkward.
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-a also looked at their motives, who praised them too openly, with a puzzled expression.
“Senior, please play with me when you are discharged. OK?”
“… Sorry, I don’t think I have time to play.”
I said, ignoring her.
I had already drawn a blueprint of how I would spend with Kang Hae-rin after being discharged from the hospital, so I decided not to make an appointment.
“… tooth. Just think of it as a reward. Anyway, you helped me. It is because I am grateful.”
Kim Hye-jeong stuck out her lips as if she was sad.
I knew that Hyejeong Kim thought of me like a benefactor who saved me from dating violence, but her behavior now made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Act like you like me
I could never accept that.
Perhaps it is a misunderstanding of gratitude and love.
I can’t accept someone who mistakes helping me for love when my heart is weak.

“Ah, I’m going to live!!”
“Sup, you say no?”
“I also need a private space. Why did my mother only allow my older sister, but I said no? uh? is it discrimination? Since I was young, I only inherited the clothes my sister wore, and she did all the good things first, but now I can’t even become independent?”
“What a private space you are! You don’t tidy up the house anyway, and you won’t be able to go in properly because you’re hanging out late with your friends. I still do, but who will believe me if I want to live alone?”
Kim Hye-jung grabbed her mother’s arm while she was washing the dishes and begged her, but when she couldn’t do it, she rolled on the floor.
“Do you want your daughter to die as an old virgin and never have a boyfriend?”
“What does that have to do with it?”
“If you don’t have a room, you don’t have a place to meet your boyfriend. Bring it home and play with it?”
“Hey, hey. Is there any reason why not?”
“Say something that makes sense!”
“Look at him? What are you going to do?”
“aaah, my sister has allowed me to meet her boyfriend since I was young, so why can’t I?!”
“I never gave you permission. And he knows how to do it well. Being independent now wasn’t given to me by my mother, it was earned by myself and went out.”
“You paid the deposit in the first place!”
“So why didn’t you do well as usual? Trust is not built overnight.”
“It’s annoying-!!”
When Kim Hye-jeong whined so much, her mother, Park Gyeong-rin, who had a sore ear, sighed and said,
“Do you have a boyfriend or something?”
“… Coming soon.”
“Hey, let’s not talk. It’s impure from the beginning that you want to take care of yourself because you have a boyfriend, but what’s the point of having a boyfriend who doesn’t even exist? Or, is there anyone you are interested in?”
“Yes, there is, please allow me.”
“Hey, Kim Hye-jeong!”
Park Kyung-rin turned around and shouted.
Kim Hye-jung, who was rolling on the floor, hiccupped.
“… why.”
“Don’t you remember that you came back with a bruise on your face from a date with some bully? He doesn’t have eyes for men like that, and if he’s good, he’s a kid who removes everything from his liver and gallbladder, so he won’t allow it.”
“I’m sure this time. He’s a really nice and nice person. He also helped me hand over the trash bastard to the cops. This is real destiny.”
“Ugh…”
Park Kyung-rin shook his head and started washing the dishes again, as if he had decided not to respond.
Then, someone came into the kitchen.
She drank the juice from the refrigerator and looked at Kim Hye-jeong lying on the floor with a pitiful look.
“Mom, what are you doing?”
“…you should try drying it. It’s a request to be independent. Spending pocket money at home, a kid who doesn’t even look at men is independent while trying to get a boyfriend. I promise to make you independent. A kid who doesn’t know his parents’ feelings and doesn’t have the brain to persuade…”
“Are you ignoring me as an idiot!?!?”
Hyejeong Kim shouted.
“… Who is this time? Do you have a picture?”
“…just go.”
Kim Hye-jeong pouted her lips and said.
“My younger sister is dating, but I’m worried about my older sister. You and that bastard from last time…”
“Ah, stop talking about him!”
Kim Hye-jeong suddenly got nervous.
“Because he’s a really nice person this time.”
“Would you mind? Because they always look for good-looking people like that, they get robbed. Originally, if a man has a good-looking face, everyone pays for his face, right?”
“no it’s not?”
Kim Hye-jeong jumped up and put her phone in.
“He’s handsome, but he’s very kind.”
“……”
While the cup was being emptied, Kim Hye-eun, who was looking at the screen her sister had put out, stopped moving.
“… he’s handsome, isn’t he?”
Kim Hye-jeong said hehehe, laughing.
“Really nice. They say they have a girlfriend, but isn’t it enough to steal them? And someday we’ll break up My girlfriend is so pretty that I’m honestly embarrassed, but she seems to have a very strong personality. I’m quite attractive too, and I’ve stuck to it until then… sister?”
“……”
Kim Hye-eun made a strange expression, then, without a word, emptied the remaining glass and went up to the room.
Kim Hye-jung was dumbfounded and muttered in the direction where Kim Hye-eun disappeared.
“What is it? Surely, didn’t you fall for your sister too? Ha, did I just show you?”
Park Kyung-rin, who finished washing the dishes, looked at Kim Hye-jung as if she was absurd.
